Li Yi has never come back since leaving Monaco at the end of the season last summer, so this is the first time that Li Shou has returned to this city where he has been for two years.

Things are not right and people are not bad, but compared with a year ago, Monaco now gives Li Shou a sense of strangeness. This is not what has happened in Monaco. In fact, there has been no change in Monaco in less than a year. Li Shou's strangeness is from the inside out, not because of the environment.

Familiar with airports, attributes and scenery, and even many familiar faces, including French media and Monaco fans. There are actually not many Monaco fans, because the whole of Monaco is that big.

The complex mood did not bother Li Shou for a long time, especially after experiencing the first round of competition, but when the team started to adapt to training, Li Shou had already focused on the game.

However, when Li Shou really stepped onto the Louis II Stadium, a trace of turmoil appeared in his heart because a banner appeared on the Louis II Stadium.

Welcome home.

As Li Shou himself said, Monaco is the starting point of his career. No matter which team Li Shou will play in the future, no matter what kind of achievements he achieves, it will not change this fact.

Besides, Li Shou’s performance in Monaco is obvious to all. If it weren’t for Li Shou’s wonderful performance last season, Monaco would not have been able to overtake and finally win the double championship.

The fans are emotional. After seeing Li Shou’s sincere report, Monaco fans finally chose to welcome Li Shou back in a warm manner.

Humans are always animals with emotions. Although Li Shou has always warned himself in his heart, this guy is actually a person with very rich feelings. So when he saw the banner prepared by Monaco fans, a hint of emotion appeared on Li Shou's face.

However, Li Shou also knew that he had no time to be moved now, and soon the inner feeling of General Li Shou was suppressed, because the competition was about to begin.

Compared with the last game, Wenger has made a lot of adjustments in the starting lineup, and the defense line has not changed. The real changes are in the midfield and frontcourt, Flamini, Coquelin and Wilhelm start, and the starters on the front line are Walcott, Wilbeck and Griezmann.

The change in the starting lineup declared Wenger's determination. In this game, Arsenal's tactic was to counterattack. Needless to say, Walcott's speed was, and Velbeck was much faster than Giroud.

Arsenal will immediately face Chelsea after the match against Monaco. Arsenal will definitely not be able to lose against Chelsea. Although the game with Monaco is as important, Arsenal has the advantage of two goals after all.

Monaco's starting lineup also changed. Carvalho took the bench and Raji appeared in the central defender. Fabinho and Kurzawa formed two sides. In the midfield, Bernard Silva replaced Dillar, Tularang and Condobia had two midfielders, Carrasco and Martial continued to start.

When he was two goals behind and then played at home, Monaco would definitely not sit still and wait for death, so Monaco launched a strong attack at the beginning of the game.

In the first round, Monaco caught Arsenal off guard and even let Monaco take the lead, but Wenger would not fall into a pit twice.

Facing Monaco's opening attack, Arsenal performed very hard and immediately fought, even fouled one after another less than two minutes into the game.

Fortunately, Arsenal did not make a big foul, and the game was just the beginning. The referee did not have a deck, but warnings were definitely indispensable. After all, the emotions of home fans that the referee needs to consider.

Arsenal's toughness is somewhat beyond Monaco's expectations, but this did not change Monaco's tactics. Monaco is currently behind 2:0. If Monaco still wants to fight, they need to attack.

In the seventh minute, Monaco finally had its first shot in the game. Bernard Silva broke through on the side and passed the ball backwards outside the penalty area. From behind, Condobia shot heavily on the head.

Li Shou, who has been a teammate with Condobia, knows very well that this French midfielder is good and can be said to be an all-round offense and defense.

Condobiya's long shot Li Shou dared not take the ball head-on because the shot was too powerful. Monaco then took a corner kick, but Condobiya was the header this time, but Li Shou caught the header this time.

Li Shou, who caught the ball, immediately launched a counterattack. The ball came to Bellerin's feet. The latter passed a long pass to find Walcott, and the little tiger immediately launched an attack into the Monaco penalty area.

"Foof~~~Arsenal got a free kick with a good position" about 24 meters on the left, which is Li Shou's area.

Facing Walcott's ball-breaking breakthrough, Raji couldn't stop him, so he chose to make a foul. Not long after the game started, Raji's foul was actually not serious. After all, there was someone behind Raji, and in this case, the referee would get a yellow card at most.

In fact, the referee did not pay off the cards at all. This is Monaco's home court. The home advantage is not only because of the fans in the stands, but also the referee's penalty will tend to be.

Li Shou was still unmoved in the face of this opportunity. Of course, this was not because Li Shou was soft-hearted or other reasons. The reason why Li Shou did not choose to take the penalty was to consider the team's victory. With the big score already 2:0, Li Shou felt that he had no need to take risks.

Li Shou did not ask for a penalty, and Sanchez sat on the bench again. This free kick opportunity was finally taken by Griezmann, which was also Arsenal's first shot in this game.

Griezmann's free kick level is actually not bad, and this shot is the best proof. If Subacic hadn't made a wonderful save, Arsenal would have led the way.

In the fifteenth minute, Arsenal made a quick counterattack, and Monaco passed the ball by Li Shou. As Li Shou's old club, Monaco knew Li Shou's attacking ability very well, so this cross was not actually sent to the front of the goal.

But even so, he still couldn't escape Li Shou's clearance. Li Shou rushed out of the small penalty area and rushed out with one punch before Martial.

"This is a premeditated clearance, a premeditated defensive counterattack." Li Shou's clearance found Wilshire, who immediately passed the ball for a long pass and sent the ball to the front of Monaco's penalty area.

Velbeck competed with Abdunur for speed. Velbeck was faster in village speed, but Velbeck did not touch the ball in the end, because Abdunur directly made a slip shovel at the critical moment. This slip shovel finally hit the ball before Velbeck.
Chapter completed!
